Vector Balls FAQ

How do I set Vector Balls as my screensaver on a Mac?

Install SCRNSVRS free from the Mac App Store, select Vector Balls in the library and click Set as Screensaver. macOS starts it whenever your Mac is idle, exactly like a built-in screensaver.

Can I use Vector Balls as a live wallpaper?

Yes. Click Set as Wallpaper in SCRNSVRS and Vector Balls plays on your desktop behind your windows and icons. You can use it as screensaver and wallpaper at the same time.

Is Vector Balls free?

Yes. Vector Balls is Free Forever in SCRNSVRS – no account, no ads, no subscription.

Is Vector Balls a video loop?

No. Vector Balls is rendered live on your Mac with Metal, so it never repeats and stays sharp on any display size. The clip on this page is a screen recording of the real thing.

Will Vector Balls slow down my Mac or drain the battery?

No. SCRNSVRS drops to 30 fps on battery and stops rendering when the wallpaper is covered by a full-screen app, so Vector Balls costs next to nothing in everyday use.
